Adagio Guitarist Releasing Solo Instrumental Debut

Renowned shredder Stéphan Forté (Adagio) has set February 28th, 2012 as the North American release date for his highly anticipated instrumental solo debut, "The Shadows Compendium." Proving that shred is far from dead, Forté demonstrates otherworldly skill and technique on this neo-classical metallic release. The album will be distributed in the United States by E1 Distribution. "The Shadows Compendium" features several guests such as Jeff Loomis, Mattias Eklundh, Glen Drover, Daniele Gottardo and Derek Taylor.
